The UK government appointed an employment law specialist to investigate bullying allegations against Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab.

Adam Tolley will probe two formal complaints by officials against Raab -- who is also the justice secretary -- Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s spokesman, Max Blain, told reporters on Wednesday. The lawyer will also look into any other issues concerning Raab’s treatment of colleagues that may arise, Blain said.
